HI all do anyone out there just processor there logs out to customer. or do you barn seasoned your logs i see more just out to customer here now owell thaks jon

Are you asking if we process customers wood into firewood on the customers site?, I think some here do.

 

Or are you asking if we supply logs that have just been processed, ie green.

 

Personally I cant see the point in selling green timber unless you have aquired it very cheap or as arisings.

Most round this way process straight into truck. They are busy all summer harvesting. I dont see where it says in the bible though shall spend £50,000 on cord then spend thousands on diesel and wages then wait 12 months to see your money back. If we process and send out green we tell people. But alot of my customers are ordering there wood now for next year they get there first load in feb march when there store is down I then have space and cash flow so I can send them bone dry stuff in Jan/ Feb next year. We are never short on customers just time and cord wood

I process straight off cord stack through latter part of season and all through the summer months problem being???

The nearest guy to me has done quality logs for 20-25 years now and he always proccesses straight off cord stack into his truck. Fiar paly Jon yuor sepeillng adn sentnces aer whoefull...While the dark nights are hear get yourself booked on a college course English literature would be a good start!!!!(joke) I presume this is what you are asking? So lets say you are into logs in a big way 500t of logs piled in a barn is alot of work/money sat there earning nowt for a long time matey. If you had anything about you get the customer ordering a year in advance and get them to season it.

I processor straight from the stack into my truck and straight out to the customer most of the time, if we have a few slack days i'll billet a load of timer up or cage a load of logs up but it works best for me to process from stack to truck. Mind you my stack has sat there for 2 years so its fairly well seasoned.

Surely the it's depens on what the customer wants...most of mine at this time of year want a cube of well seasoned logs to burn today,tomorrow and right through the season so it's got to be first class,I wouldn't take a chance on sending out semi seasoned Logs UNLESS the customer explained that they were not going to burn it till next winter.

BTW I'm not suggesting any other members on this forum are selling green logs as seasoned:thumbup:

i sell green and tell the customer
